Happy FIRST Birthday Caleb!

My baby boy is ONE!  I found myself getting a little emotional on his birthday.  This is a big step in our lives.  I love being a mommy, especially to the most precious little boy.  
Just in the last week Caleb has begun using words.  He has known MAMA and DADA for awhile, but never said them that often.  Now he calls me mama all day long especially when he wants something.  He will point to a picture of Daddy and says Dada.  
Caleb loves dogs.  He now says, "DAHEE" over and over again when he sees a dog. He loves cell phones and will put it to his ear and say "HAH" his version of Hi.  
When he hears an airplane or bird he looks up in the sky and points to it.  He is obsessed with both.  He can say BIRD now too. He also says, "NANA" which means night night.  Night night means he mommy to take him upstairs to feed and rock him to sleep.  Sometimes Nana means just feed me and snuggle for a bit.
It's amazing how much my little boy can understand now.  If I ask him to get his ball he brings it to me and he brings me his shoes before we play outside. 
Outside!  He is an outdoors kind of boy.  He could play out there all day long if I let him.  Most days we do spend most of our time outside going on wagon rides, bike rides and walks.  My parents gave Caleb a red wagon for his birthday and he just adores it.  They also got us a bike carrier and just yesterday I took Caleb on an eight mile ride.  I know to some that doesn't seem very far, but for me it was like running a marathon.  The last mile home was a killer. He grabs his helmet and puts it on and then goes over to my bike when he wants to go for a ride.  He is to cute.
He has a few sticks that he carries around with him while in our backyard.  He also throws golf balls around the yard and let me tell you he has a good arm.  
He also loves water.  When we are outside he gets mommy the hose and wants me to spray him with it.  He loves to swim and play in the sprinklers.  We will probably be spending a great deal of time in the pool this summer.
As long as mommy is close by Caleb loves people and is very social.  He waves to everyone that walks by.  
Caleb can drink from a cup all by himself and also Grandma Melanie taught him to drink from a straw.  She has been working on that for awhile now. 
Caleb loves to sing.  When I rock him goodnight I sing and sometimes he joins me.  He opens his mouth real wide and says AHHH!  It's so funny.  
I'm such a proud mommy.  He is such an active and happy little boy.  I thank my Heavenly Father daily for allowing me to be Caleb's mommy.  Families are forever!  I love you Caleb.
